00:00:00Mr. Marco had a widow named Ava Jackson, and she was carrying his child.
00:00:07I'm gonna bring my daughter-in-law home, where she belongs.
00:00:12My brother, I will protect your legacy, and I will protect our family.
00:00:18Who are you, really?
00:00:21A mere day she has sworn to our family out of millions of dollars.
00:00:26I've wanted Luca for years, and then you waltz in and get his attention in weeks.
00:00:31If I can't have him, I'll destroy him.
00:00:35Your life belongs to us.
00:00:38Give me one good reason why I should get rid of this baby.
00:00:43From this moment forward, I swear to you, nobody will ever hit me.
00:00:49I guess my brother had good reason to fall for her.
00:00:56Ava, you're so close, is this a dream?
00:01:02If anyone sees us like this, then immediately send me first.
00:01:07Ava, I have fallen in love with you.
00:01:10I'm your brother's wife.
00:01:12We didn't do anything wrong, so why are you worried?
00:01:14If you knew I had feelings for your brother, would you hate me?
00:01:19I should never have let you go undercover on that damn business deal.
00:01:36I never even got to say goodbye.
00:01:38Marco, my brother, I will protect your legacy.
00:01:42And I will protect our family.
00:01:49Hey, hey! Who are you?
00:01:52Which family do you work for?
00:01:54I just came to drop off the flowers. I didn't mean to.
00:01:57Luca, look at her.
00:01:59She's hardly a threat.
00:02:00Look at her.
00:02:01She's hardly a threat.
00:02:08For the flowers.
00:02:10And for the interruption.
00:02:12My apologies.
00:02:13Signor Mancini,
00:02:24Mr. Marco had a widow named Ava Jackson,
00:02:27and she was carrying his child.
00:02:30Get the car.
00:02:32Let me bring my daughter to a home where she belongs.
00:02:36Don't worry, little one.
00:02:45We'll get through this together.
00:02:48Somehow.
00:02:52Well, looky here.
00:02:54The family jinx is finally six feet under.
00:02:57Derek, have you lost your mind? What the hell was that?
00:03:10Don't tell me that you're actually planning on keeping that little parasite.
00:03:14This is Marco's baby. This is our child. Of course I'm keeping it.
00:03:20Ever since you got knocked up, you've done nothing to help this family.
00:03:25We've been struggling while you've been out here playing the grieving widow.
00:03:28Give me one good reason why I should get rid of this baby.
00:03:34Because you owe me.
00:03:37This is your fault.
00:03:40I dropped out of college for this family.
00:03:43I took five jobs.
00:03:44What more could you possibly want?
00:03:45It'll never be enough, Ava.
00:03:47You'll owe us till the day you die.
00:03:50Please, sweetheart.
00:03:53Think of your brother.
00:03:55I'm gonna stomp out that little bastard right now.
00:04:00Send him straight to hell.
00:04:02So he can say hello to his deadbeat dad.
00:04:06Hex!
00:04:08What the hell is going on here? Who the hell are you people?
00:04:30Ava.
00:04:31Ava, right?
00:04:33You were here this morning.
00:04:35Enough, Luca.
00:04:37She's hardly up there.
00:04:41Ma'am?
00:04:42I'm Helena Mancini.
00:04:44Marco's mother.
00:04:49That means I'm your baby's grandmother.
00:04:52The most powerful mafia family in the country.
00:04:55Oh, what?
00:04:57Marco was my oldest.
00:04:59He was my golden boy.
00:05:01I am so sorry that he concealed his identity from you.
00:05:05You have endured far too much suffering because of it.
00:05:09Plain make-believe, Mancini?
00:05:14Seriously, like is anybody here actually buying this?
00:05:18Question my identity again and my men will make sure your other leg looks like your first one.
00:05:24Permanently.
00:05:27What are you doing?
00:05:28Derek, run!
00:05:30Maybe we should just go.
00:05:33One moment, dear.
00:05:35Anyone who raises a hand to my daughter-in-law deserves to have their fingers snapped.
00:05:42One by one.
00:05:47Come along, my dear.
00:05:49Let's get you home.
00:05:51To your real home.
00:05:54Oh, my dear.
00:05:55Oh, my dear.
00:05:56Oh, my dear.
00:05:57Oh, my dear.
00:05:58Oh, my dear.
00:05:59Oh, my dear.
00:06:00Oh, my dear.
00:06:15Welcome home, Signora Eva Mancini.
00:06:18This is where Marco lives.
00:06:20And now, it's your hand too.
00:06:21Allow me to introduce you to your personal staff, Mrs. Mancini.
00:06:22Your nutritionist, nanny, maternity nurse, each the finest specialist money can acquire.
00:06:26We pledge your absolute dedication to your health and well-being, Signora.
00:06:33War days of working multiple jobs, my dear.
00:06:34War days of working multiple jobs.
00:06:35A little bit, my dear.
00:06:36Ten million dollars is a little spending money.
00:06:37Well, thank you.
00:06:38But I can't accept this.
00:06:39I married Marco for love, not for his fortune.
00:06:40Practical and principled.
00:06:41My Marco truly had an eye for quality.
00:06:42There is one more member of the family that you need to properly meet for.
00:06:47We guarantee.
00:06:48A little bit, my dear.
00:06:49Ten million dollars is a little spending money.
00:06:53Well, thank you, but I can't accept this.
00:06:57I married Marco for love, not for his fortune.
00:07:02Practical and principled, my Marco truly had an eye for quality.
00:07:07There is one more member of the family that you need to properly meet.
00:07:12That would be Luca, Marco's younger brother.
00:07:15The brooding iceberg that you encountered this morning.
00:07:18Well, well, well.
00:07:21Is this flower girl in the cemetery?
00:07:24Luca, come meet Ava, your brother's wife.
00:07:27Please, show her proper...
00:07:29Respect!
00:07:34You walk back into a Mancini household?
00:07:38You're either incredibly stupid or incredibly brave.
00:07:43Luca, open this door immediately!
00:07:45Everyone, around back, now!
00:07:53Who are you, really?
00:07:56I'll be watching your every move, your every breath.
00:08:01So tell me, who are you, really?
00:08:06My brother's dead, and you appear suddenly?
00:08:09Was this your endgame all along?
00:08:11Our fortune?
00:08:12I didn't know Marco's a Mancini.
00:08:15And now?
00:08:15I don't need this.
00:08:17I can walk right out those doors.
00:08:18You can't walk anywhere!
00:08:19She's not going anywhere!
00:08:20And get your hands off of her!
00:08:27She is carrying Marco's child.
00:08:29Oh, is she?
00:08:31How do we even know it is Marco's child?
00:08:33Convenient timing, wouldn't you say?
00:08:34Questioning on you, Marco, don't you dare question my child?
00:08:42That's my girl!
00:08:44Backbone of steel!
00:08:46Are you hurt?
00:08:49Luca!
00:08:49You are too rude!
00:08:51Ava is a good girl!
00:08:52You are falsely accusing her!
00:08:54Come on, sweetie.
00:08:56Mom's going to take you and get some clothes.
00:08:58Pay no attention to this fool.
00:08:59You may be fooling them, but I will find out about you, and I will expose you.
00:09:23These are all the latest European styles.
00:09:26Take your pick.
00:09:28I have plenty to wear.
00:09:29And these are much too expensive.
00:09:31Oh, not to worry.
00:09:33It's all on Luca's card.
00:09:35Treat my dear daughter-in-law well.
00:09:37Try to be open and honest.
00:09:45This weight on my chest, I don't want it.
00:09:52I'd hate to be breaking, I promise.
00:10:10Cause I owe you the truth that I...
00:10:13Oh, isn't she gorgeous?
00:10:16She's...
00:10:16She's...
00:10:20Adequate?
00:10:24Always the tough guy act with you.
00:10:27Your eyes tell a different story, my son.
00:10:30Oh, yes.
00:10:31This is just perfect.
00:10:33We will take one of everything in her size.
00:10:36Mom.
00:10:37Mom.
00:10:38Mom.
00:10:39Mom.
00:10:41That's too generous.
00:10:43Nonsense.
00:10:44We're family now.
00:10:47I am putting Luca's contact info into your phone.
00:10:51Reach out to him.
00:10:52Whatever you need.
00:10:54And don't worry.
00:10:55He's actually quite a softie.
00:10:59Now, shall we continue shopping?
00:11:02Yes.
00:11:05Sir.
00:11:06Yes?
00:11:07Your mother has spent approximately $15 million on Miss Jackson in the last week alone.
00:11:13God.
00:11:15In mere days, she has swooned our family out of millions of dollars.
00:11:19She's clearly not an amateur.
00:11:21She's also been spending a substantial amount since marrying your brother to pay off her brother's debts.
00:11:26I want everything on her.
00:11:30Everything!
00:11:31If she is playing us for full, then I will personally ensure that she regrets ever hearing the name Mancino.
00:11:45I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:11:47I hate to put extra stress on your shoulders, but we need to discuss the incredible cost of your husband's care
00:11:54and how the bill will be paid.
00:11:57Limited edition is perfect for you.
00:12:04Marco, you just focus on getting better, okay?
00:12:08Don't worry about the bills.
00:12:10I've got it covered.
00:12:11I've got it covered.
00:12:11Your brother married Miss Jackson under false pretenses.
00:12:22She worked several jobs to make that money.
00:12:25And when your brother got sick, he worked to pay off his medical bills.
00:12:29And then day and night for his funeral.
00:12:32Did I get her all wrong?
00:12:33Mother is unwell.
00:12:47You need to return home immediately.
00:12:52What's wrong with Mom?
00:12:53Is she hurt?
00:12:58Mom?
00:13:00What's going on?
00:13:01Ava, please don't be angry.
00:13:10We just had to get you here.
00:13:16What are you doing?
00:13:17Since you won't help us financially, we had to find another solution.
00:13:21Victor Fang.
00:13:23That old loan shark's willing to give us $80,000 just to marry you.
00:13:27Are you insane?
00:13:34I'm pregnant.
00:13:36Your husband's dead, Ava.
00:13:38Why keep his baby?
00:13:39Think about your family.
00:13:40Mr. Fang is wife.
00:13:42Don't make this harder than it needs to be.
00:13:45You are not selling me off to Victor Fang!
00:13:48If she dies, how will you provide for this child?
00:13:53No.
00:13:54She's calling someone!
00:14:06Hello?
00:14:06Help!
00:14:12Ava's in danger.
00:14:13We need to move.
00:14:13Go, go, go!
00:14:14You think someone's coming to save you?
00:14:35Who dares manhandle my future bride?
00:14:43Mr. Fang.
00:14:44Oh, it's such a pleasure.
00:14:46This is Ava, my sister, who we discussed.
00:14:49Ooh, two for the price of one, I see.
00:14:52Oh, it's just some dead guy's kid.
00:14:54If you want, I can take care of it right now.
00:14:56We could offer you a discount, and I think $60,000 is more than fair.
00:15:00Pennies for somebody of your wealth.
00:15:02Derek, you're sick!
00:15:03I'm your sister, this is your nephew.
00:15:05My son's future is more important to me than that stupid little bastard of yours!
00:15:10Hey, hey!
00:15:11Gee, no need to be so rough with such a beautiful lady.
00:15:16Now, dear, just take this right here, and it'll make things easier for everybody.
00:15:22Oh, okay!
00:15:25A little feisty, I see.
00:15:29Maybe you just need a little personal attention.
00:15:31Yeah.
00:15:32Get out of my way!
00:15:57I always knew Ava was trouble.
00:15:58If her husband's barely cold, then she already has another hand.
00:16:01Who the hell do you think you are?
00:16:07I look at Mancini.
00:16:09Mancini, you idiot!
00:16:12You killed me!
00:16:13How did my sister get caught up with the likes of you?
00:16:15Ava is my brother's widow, and her baby is his only child.
00:16:21So it's true?
00:16:22Her baby's the heir to the Mancini family?
00:16:25Looks like your wife is pregnant, too.
00:16:28Yes, yes, it's true.
00:16:30I swear, we didn't know.
00:16:31Please, please.
00:16:33You will be dealt with.
00:16:35Penfold.
00:16:36What you did to Ava.
00:16:40Get a doctor!
00:16:41Get a doctor!
00:16:42Get a car!
00:16:42And deal with him!
00:16:43No!
00:16:44I can see you later on!
00:16:56Good.
00:16:56I can see you again soon.
00:17:00Bye!
00:17:02I'll see you soon!
00:17:04Bye!
00:17:05Bye!
00:17:09Bye!
00:17:10Bye!
00:17:11Bye!
00:17:11Bye!
00:17:11Bye!
00:17:11Bye!
00:17:12Bye!
00:17:12Mom, hey.
00:17:22How's Ava? How's the baby?
00:17:25The doctors are examining her now.
00:17:31Doctor, how is she?
00:17:33Mrs. Mancini has a severe ankle fracture that it needs immediate surgery.
00:17:37The medication could cause a miscarriage, so we need to have consent before we can proceed.
00:17:44Do it, whatever it takes.
00:17:45No!
00:17:49Doctor, is there any way to do the surgery without anesthesia?
00:17:53That's not medically advisable. The pain would be too excruciating.
00:17:59This baby is Marco's only child, his only heir.
00:18:03I can't risk losing it. I can handle the pain.
00:18:08Oh, my brave girl. God bless you.
00:18:13You know, I think somebody should be with her during the operation.
00:18:16The pain would be just too intense.
00:18:19I'll stay with her.
00:18:20I'll stay with her.
00:18:33How'd it go, Doctor?
00:18:45It's a success.
00:18:48You're a real trooper, if you don't mind me saying.
00:18:51I guess my brother had good reason to fall for her.
00:18:54Senora Ava, please, let me help you.
00:19:19Okay, right this way only.
00:19:21I know your stay at the hospital could not have been easy for you.
00:19:30That's why I'm having 30% of Mancini Group shares put into your name.
00:19:36No.
00:19:37Mom, I cannot accept that.
00:19:40We're family.
00:19:42It's what you deserve.
00:19:43Actually, I've been thinking about doing something else.
00:19:49I'd like to go back to work.
00:19:52Work?
00:19:53But, but, you're pregnant.
00:19:55Oh, honey, if you need money, I'll just transfer some into your account.
00:19:57No, no, it's not about money.
00:20:00Marco always said that we should make our own way.
00:20:04And I want our child to know his father and know what he valued.
00:20:13You are as stubborn as he was.
00:20:17Well, you're going to need protection.
00:20:20You'll accompany her.
00:20:24No, no, no, no, no.
00:20:25I can manage on my own.
00:20:27In the morning, 10 a.m., I'll be at the entrance.
00:20:42You know that I can talk to your manager for you.
00:20:45Make sure that they accommodate every need.
00:20:47No need.
00:20:47I don't want any special treatments.
00:20:50But, thank you for that ride.
00:20:52You know, Ava, you do not need to be afraid of me.
00:20:58I can help you.
00:20:59Whatever you need.
00:21:18Why is she even back?
00:21:20That pregnant belly ruins the source of static.
00:21:23These pregnant women know exactly what they're doing.
00:21:26Hiding behind maternity protections.
00:21:29We can't legally fire her.
00:21:30Could you reassign her to the warehouse?
00:21:32Make her move some stock around?
00:21:34And if something happens to her or the baby,
00:21:36you want that liability?
00:21:39We can't fire her,
00:21:40but we certainly can make her life difficult enough
00:21:43that she decides to quit on her own.
00:21:45And that concludes our quarterly revenue projections.
00:22:07Sir, forgive my directness,
00:22:13but are we here because you're concerned about your sister-in-law?
00:22:23Should I have the car brought around for your next meeting?
00:22:26Cancel the meeting?
00:22:27I've been meaning to talk to you,
00:22:33given your, um, condition.
00:22:36I've been worried about potential liability issues.
00:22:39My pregnancy will not affect my performance.
00:22:42I do not intend to take advantage of company policy.
00:22:45Oh, I'd like to hear that.
00:22:49Then you won't mind proving your commitment.
00:22:51Sell $1 million worth of merchandise by today,
00:22:55and I'll put all of my concerns to rest.
00:22:57I've seen your sales record.
00:23:00I know you can do it.
00:23:01I know you can do it.
00:23:31Sir, half an hour until closing,
00:23:43and Mrs. Mancini has already surpassed the store's average monthly sales in a single day.
00:23:49But she's still a great deal short of the manager's impossible target.
00:23:56She did make it clear that she doesn't want any special treatment,
00:23:59but I have been neglecting my own wardrobe.
00:24:03The Rossi family event will require several new suits.
00:24:06Now that you mention it, sir,
00:24:08your formal collection is missing quite a few essential items.
00:24:12And I should do some special shopping, shouldn't I?
00:24:14Sir, may I assist you?
00:24:21Um...
00:24:21Sir!
00:24:22This limited edition silk tie would go perfect with your complexion.
00:24:25Sir, I'd be happy to take your measurements, personally.
00:24:29Sir, as store manager,
00:24:31I would be honored to assist you with your needs myself.
00:24:34I'd actually like Ms. Jackson to assist me.
00:24:38I hear her taste in men's fashion is exceptional.
00:24:45Shall we begin?
00:24:47Right this way, sir.
00:24:48I just need to take your measurements.
00:24:57Whoa!
00:24:58What are you doing?
00:24:59Your measurement bucket?
00:25:02I just needed you to take the jacket off.
00:25:05Well,
00:25:05we don't have much time.
00:25:11I know.
00:25:14I know.
00:25:19I know.
00:25:21I know.
00:25:21I know you're going to be like this.
00:25:26Okay.
00:25:27Mm-hmm.
00:25:44Ava, time is almost up.
00:26:09I did it.
00:26:10I saved my job.
00:26:12And I made a new sales record.
00:26:16There's no reason to thank me.
00:26:18I'm here to help.
00:26:19Whenever you need it.
00:26:22I hate to do this, but...
00:26:25Ava Jackson...
00:26:26You're fired.
00:26:29What?
00:26:31No.
00:26:32I met your target and then some.
00:26:34Oh.
00:26:35That last sale?
00:26:36The one that put you over the top?
00:26:38That was actually mine.
00:26:40You're trying to steal my commission.
00:26:42Well, that won't work because everyone in this store saw me make that sale.
00:26:51I get it.
00:26:52You threatened them into silence.
00:26:54Well, that won't work either.
00:26:56Because the security cameras caught everything.
00:26:58Security cameras.
00:27:00Security cameras.
00:27:09What horrible timing.
00:27:11Unfortunately, the security cameras are down for maintenance today.
00:27:14But fortunately, everyone here saw you destroy thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.
00:27:21You all saw Ava, didn't you?
00:27:23Yeah, we all saw it.
00:27:26So someone should call security.
00:27:28Better yet, call the police.
00:27:38I'm sorry, sir, but we're closed for the day.
00:27:41I heard this store get trashed.
00:27:42I'm going to have to ask you to leave or I'm going to have to call the police.
00:27:45The police work for me.
00:27:46Are you Luca Mancini?
00:27:50Are you Luca Mancini?
00:27:54Is that you?
00:27:56I'm Luca Mancini.
00:28:03Okay.
00:28:03I'm Luca Mancini.
00:28:06I'm Luca Mancini.
00:28:10You're Luca Mancini.
00:28:11I'm Luca Mancini.
00:28:14I'm Luca Mancini.
00:28:16I Greetings.
00:28:17Thanks a lot.
00:28:18I hear you.
00:28:20I hear you.
00:28:22Hi Ana Mancini.
00:28:23I'm Luca Mancini.
00:28:25Please stop. I admit it, I was wrong.
00:28:47Who really damaged the merchandise in this store?
00:28:49The items that you destroyed are worth over several millions of dollars at five years in prison.
00:28:55Luca, what happened?
00:28:59There's nothing we're talking about. We need to go.
00:29:01And by the way, you're fired.
00:29:03Let's go. Mom, cook this thing.
00:29:10Uchadero, questa stronza.
00:29:12How dare that woman mess with my family.
00:29:15I will make sure, personally, that she suffers for it.
00:29:19You don't have to worry about that anymore.
00:29:21It's all taken care of, thanks to Luca.
00:29:24This door looked like a tornado hit it.
00:29:26A man who will be serving time in a jail cell.
00:29:29Justice is served.
00:29:31That's my boy.
00:29:35Sweetheart, I would like you to concentrate full-time on your pregnancy right now.
00:29:40All of this work drama can wait until after my grandchild is born safely.
00:29:45Yes, ma'am.
00:29:46I transferred five million dollars into your personal account for prenatal care.
00:29:52I am worried about the baby's well-being.
00:29:56Luca, I'd like you to take her to the doctor tomorrow for an exam.
00:29:59No, that's really not necessary.
00:30:06I have those meetings in Europe, so possibly I could have some more substitute.
00:30:11Yeah, and I'm perfectly capable of going by myself.
00:30:13I, uh, I don't want to travel, Luca, with something so routine.
00:30:20It's decided.
00:30:22Cancel whatever meetings you have.
00:30:24I want you to take her.
00:30:26I will not stand for any more incidents.
00:30:29Yes, ma'am.
00:30:30Ava Jackson, we're ready for you now.
00:30:47Dad should come too.
00:30:48We encourage partner participation.
00:30:51Oh, no, he's not.
00:30:56Would you prefer that I explain that I'm your dead husband's brother?
00:31:00That might be a bit awkward.
00:31:01Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, please come in when you're ready.
00:31:04Coming.
00:31:11If you could lift your top up slightly and lower your skirt band just a bit, we'll get started.
00:31:24First prenatal checkup together, I'm guessing.
00:31:30The baby looks perfectly healthy.
00:31:36Current length is about three inches with a strong heart rate.
00:31:40Is the baby moving?
00:31:42Yes, indeed.
00:31:44Look there.
00:31:45The little one's making faces.
00:31:49Quite the expressive child already.
00:31:52The baby's at 18 weeks, now developing beautifully.
00:32:09For home care, I recommend plenty of rest, nutrient-rich foods, and tactile bonding when possible.
00:32:19Tactile bonding?
00:32:21Yes.
00:32:22It's quite beneficial for fetal development.
00:32:25Come over here and place your hands on her belly.
00:32:27Doctor, is that really appropriate?
00:32:31What's inappropriate about it?
00:32:33This is what husbands do.
00:32:38Okay.
00:32:39Sorry, did I hurt you?
00:32:54No, no.
00:32:55It just feels strange.
00:32:58Like this.
00:32:59Top to bottom.
00:33:01Left to right.
00:33:03Gentle strokes.
00:33:04Got it?
00:33:09Got it.
00:33:10Do this once daily, five to ten minutes each.
00:33:16You can sit up now.
00:33:17So, everything good with the baby?
00:33:27Any special instructions I should know about?
00:33:30Nothing.
00:33:31Nothing, no.
00:33:32The doctor did say that the baby is developing beautifully, and there's nothing to worry about.
00:33:38Good news, then.
00:33:39Before I forget, the Rossi family's daughter is having her birthday celebration next weekend,
00:33:48and we should all attend.
00:33:50The Rossi family?
00:33:52Technically, they're our business rivals, but social niceties must be maintained.
00:33:58And she has had an embarrassing crush on Luca since they were little children.
00:34:04Mom, please.
00:34:06Miss Sofia Rossi has arrived unannounced.
00:34:10She shows up without calling?
00:34:13How gauche.
00:34:14Should we send Ava upstairs?
00:34:16No, no, it's fine.
00:34:17I'm here.
00:34:17We can just...
00:34:20Good evening, Mrs. Mancini.
00:34:24Luca!
00:34:24I came to personally deliver my birthday invitation.
00:34:26Okay?
00:34:31Luca, who is this woman?
00:34:33Luca, who is this woman?
00:34:35Hey, hey, hey.
00:34:36Rossi's family lack of manners ever disappoints me.
00:34:40Luca Mancini, how dare you speak to me like that?
00:34:43Miss Rossi, right?
00:34:44I've heard so much about your family.
00:34:48I'm Ava, Marco's wife.
00:34:51Marco was Luca's brother.
00:34:52Oh, okay.
00:34:57I thought you were carrying Luca's baby.
00:35:00That's good, because of my spouse.
00:35:02I came all this way to bring you that, and this is how you welcome me?
00:35:06Don't disappoint me at the party, darling.
00:35:09Wear something sharp.
00:35:11Yes.
00:35:12See if there's any connection between that pregnant woman and Luca.
00:35:25I'm not buying this whole sister-in-law act for one second.
00:35:28You got it.
00:35:34You look so handsome.
00:35:35Well, well, well.
00:35:40It looks like my stubborn son has good taste after all.
00:35:45Luca did an excellent job selecting this gown.
00:35:47It is perfect for you.
00:35:49Luca picked this?
00:35:53I've never been anywhere this fancy before.
00:35:57I might embarrass you guys.
00:35:59Oh, don't even worry about it.
00:36:02You are my pride and joy.
00:36:05Besides, Luca will be with us the whole time,
00:36:08and he'll make sure everything runs smoothly.
00:36:13Luca?
00:36:14What about her shoes?
00:36:15How could you forget something so basic?
00:36:17What about her shoes?
00:36:51No problem.
00:36:52Just don't want you to fall.
00:37:08Who's that with Mr. Mancini?
00:37:10She's clearly pregnant.
00:37:12Do you think that's Mr. Mancini's baby?
00:37:14I had no idea he was even married.
00:37:16He must be his mistress.
00:37:18Oh, sure.
00:37:19Everyone, I would like to introduce Ava Mancini,
00:37:23my eldest son Marco's wife.
00:37:26Marco's wife?
00:37:27She's stunning.
00:37:31This is my birthday party!
00:37:33I'm supposed to be the center of attention,
00:37:35not some pregnant woman!
00:37:39Maybe we shouldn't cross a scene here.
00:37:41It's fine.
00:37:42She's almost like this.
00:37:45We didn't mean to steal your spotlight.
00:37:49An apology simply isn't enough.
00:37:51Since you're Luca's sister-in-law,
00:37:53why don't you entertain us all with a performance of some kind?
00:37:56Look, she used to deliver food for a living.
00:38:00Waitress, retail clerk, cleaning lady?
00:38:03What could someone with her background possibly perform for this grab?
00:38:18Ava, how does this piece go again?
00:38:20I'm completely lost here.
00:38:22I've forgotten everything that you told me.
00:38:24There's no way she could actually play.
00:38:27She's just a nobody from nowhere.
00:38:29He has to be seven-year-old.
00:38:30Even Miss Mancini is smiling,
00:38:33just waiting for her to crash and burn.
00:38:35I was just playing for the baby.
00:38:56I think he recognized the music you were playing for us earlier.
00:39:02Well, maybe you should teach me sometime.
00:39:05Properly.
00:39:06I'd like to play for you both.
00:39:10Because Mom did tell me to look after you,
00:39:13so it's the least that I can do.
00:39:17Okay.
00:39:18Okay.
00:39:28There.
00:39:29And there.
00:39:35There's no doubt in the name of Miss Mancini.
00:39:48They're definitely more than in-laws.
00:40:06Look at the way they play together.
00:40:07If I can't have him, I'll destroy them both.
00:40:18Yeah, I always enjoy these type of events.
00:40:20Me too.
00:40:21That's how it's good.
00:40:21From Miss Rossi.
00:40:24Your accompaniments.
00:40:25Cheers.
00:40:29Sir, that drink is almost certainly drugged.
00:40:33Obviously.
00:40:33Is the Rossi family making a move against us?
00:40:36These tensions have been simmering for years.
00:40:39Should we respond preemptively?
00:40:45Do nothing.
00:40:46You just need to focus on protecting Ava.
00:40:48We'll see what they have planned.
00:40:57Darling, you look tired.
00:41:00I don't think all this excitement is good for your condition.
00:41:03Why don't you try to find Luca and let's get you home.
00:41:18Sophia's bedroom.
00:41:32Why is Luca's phone in there?
00:41:34And why am I jealous?
00:41:35Oh, come on.
00:41:41Shit.
00:41:48I've wanted Luca for years.
00:41:55And then you waltz in and get his attention in weeks?
00:42:01You won't look so innocent when everyone sees you in bed next to your dead husband's bed.
00:42:06This is exactly how you wanted it.
00:42:09Not at all.
00:42:10This isn't convincing.
00:42:11Unbutton their clothes.
00:42:18Sal, position them closer together.
00:42:22Make it look more intimate.
00:42:28Perfect.
00:42:29Let's go.
00:42:30Our masterpiece is complete.
00:42:32Now we just have to bring in an audience.
00:42:43I expected much more than this is a juvenile prank from my business partner.
00:42:48Ava, wake up.
00:43:02Ava.
00:43:04Ava.
00:43:04Ava.
00:43:13Luca.
00:43:16Oh, my God.
00:43:17What happened to us?
00:43:25This is bad.
00:43:36If anyone sees us like this, they'll immediately assume the worst.
00:43:43Luca, wake up.
00:43:44Okay.
00:43:49Okay.
00:43:52Oh!
00:43:55Jesus.
00:43:57People are coming.
00:43:58You're acting like we had some tort affair.
00:44:00We didn't do anything wrong, so why are you worrying?
00:44:02I'm your late brother's widow, and I'm carrying his child.
00:44:05If anyone sees us like this, they'll, the Mancini family name won't be destroyed.
00:44:10Okay.
00:44:11Okay.
00:44:11Oh, so, Mancini's name is what you're concerned about, is that it?
00:44:16Hey, hey, hey, hey, you haven't answered me.
00:44:21Thank you all so much for coming today to celebrate me.
00:44:28But I do have some rather important information to share with you all.
00:44:32I have just discovered Luca Mancini in a rather compromising position with his brother's pregnant widow.
00:44:42In my bedroom.
00:44:51Can you let go?
00:44:56They're coming.
00:44:57They're coming.
00:44:57Here, I got to switch out.
00:45:03Wait, stop!
00:45:03Watch, they're right there!
00:45:05If we walk through that door, we'll walk right into their trap.
00:45:08Okay, then what's your brilliant idea?
00:45:09Yes, ma'am?
00:45:10Um, we...
00:45:12Let's go through the window.
00:45:13We can climb down.
00:45:14Whoa, whoa, whoa, no.
00:45:15No, no, I'm afraid of heights.
00:45:18You're what?
00:45:21Sorry, I just didn't realize the great Luca Mancini had fears like the rest of us.
00:45:26Yeah, you know, that's one of my fears, and I don't advertise it, so deal with it.
00:45:31What else do you...
00:45:33I'm supposed to be here with these cheaters you promised to expose.
00:45:37Shh, keep it down, you idiot.
00:45:39You don't want to wake them.
00:45:41I mean, we don't want to alert them to give them a chance to escape.
00:45:45Here comes, let's go, let's go, let's go.
00:45:48Okay.
00:45:49Hurry, hurry.
00:45:50I have to...
00:45:51No, no, no, no, no, don't run.
00:45:56We have to catch them in the act first.
00:45:57Are you insane?
00:45:58Your house is on fire.
00:46:00Who cares about the gossip?
00:46:01Better get out of here.
00:46:02No, no, no, no, no, no, I'll help everyone leave afterwards, but first let's get a look
00:46:05at them, come on.
00:46:06What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:46:31I am so sorry, it was an accident, please.
00:46:35Okay?
00:46:36Yeah.
00:46:38The staff prepared everything for you, and there's hot water in there.
00:46:46And what about you?
00:46:48We'll just be out here, taking guard for you.
00:46:52Now go on, it's warm.
00:46:55Thanks.
00:46:55Damn it.
00:47:25What is it?
00:47:29Uh, Miss Rossi is demanding to see you, sir.
00:47:32She's quite insistent.
00:47:34Okay, let her run.
00:47:39You set off the fire alarms and completely scared away my guests.
00:47:42You ruined my birthday celebration.
00:47:44Hey, you will take full responsibility for what you did.
00:47:59The drugging, the setup, all of it.
00:48:01And if you ever threaten Ava again, directly or indirectly, I will end the Rossi family from
00:48:08this city permanently.
00:48:10You're a monster.
00:48:12That's her in there, isn't it?
00:48:13Ava?
00:48:14Your dead brother's wife?
00:48:16How dare you?
00:48:17I can't wait.
00:48:18Get your hands off of me!
00:48:20Do you know who I am?

00:54:31dear daughter-in-law?
00:54:33I was just
00:54:34talking nonsense
00:54:36Miss, flowers from Mr. Mancini
00:54:54thank you
00:54:56thank you
00:55:18thank you
00:55:22I wonder if he's doing well out there.
00:55:45Hello?
00:55:45Ava?
00:55:46I'm outside at the gate.
00:55:49Security won't let me in.
00:55:52Mom, what are you doing here?
00:55:57I've missed you terribly, sweetheart.
00:55:59I just wanted to check on you and the baby.
00:56:05Look.
00:56:07Fresh oranges.
00:56:08Just pick today.
00:56:10You need the vitamin C for the baby's development.
00:56:13I'm on a very carefully monitored diet.
00:56:16You always did a trip.
00:56:21Look.
00:56:22I know that you haven't forgiven me, but you have to understand.
00:56:26Derek and Sarah, I mean, they would have thrown me out on the street if I didn't go along with them.
00:56:33I mean, what choice did I have?
00:56:36That's not rehash the past.
00:56:38Of course.
00:56:38I picked these up for my grandchild.
00:56:43Aren't they precious?
00:56:46That baby that you're carrying is my family, too.
00:56:50I love them so much already.
00:56:53Look, I stood up for you to Derek, and he threw me out.
00:56:57I had absolutely nothing left.
00:57:00This card contains all the money I've saved.
00:57:12It's yours.
00:57:14But you have to promise me that you'll use it for yourself.
00:57:16Not a penny goes to Derek.
00:57:18Okay.
00:57:19I swear it.
00:57:20Not a cent to him.
00:57:21How much money are we talking about?
00:57:24$10,000.
00:57:27$10,000?
00:57:29That's it.
00:57:31You're carrying the Mancini air, and all they've given you is $10,000.
00:57:36That is my personal savings.
00:57:38I haven't asked the Mancini's for a cent.
00:57:40Okay, this is completely unacceptable.
00:57:45Everyone in this city knows that the Mancini's are loaded beyond belief.
00:57:50Come on.
00:57:51You need to milk this situation for all it's worth.
00:57:59Honey, I'm...
00:58:01I'm only thinking about your future and your security.
00:58:06I mean, what happens if they throw you out once the baby arrives?
00:58:11I didn't marry into the Mancini family for their fortune.
00:58:15And you mention their money one more time, you'll never see me again.
00:58:20Understand?
00:58:21I understand, sweetheart.
00:58:23Mom won't say another word about it.
00:58:30$10,000?
00:58:32That's it?
00:58:33That's pocket change for them!
00:58:34She must be holding down on this.
00:58:38That ungrateful little brat!
00:58:41I tried everything!
00:58:43I couldn't squeeze another penny out of her.
00:58:45She's swimming in Mancini money, and we're here struggling.
00:58:49After what they did to my leg, I should be getting millions!
00:58:52Yes, a few million?
00:58:54It's just the beginning.
00:58:56We've been thinking too small.
00:58:57I have good reason to believe that we have a common enemy.
00:59:12I think we should work together.
00:59:13Miss Mancini has been sleeping well, sir.
00:59:21She got the prenatal vitamins you sent her, and they effectively reduced her morning sickness.
00:59:27And this morning, she ate half a slice of French toast, a half portion of scrambled eggs, two cherry tomatoes, and a glass of milk.
00:59:34And after some gentle persuasion from your mother, she also had a piece of steak for the iron content.
00:59:41It's good to hear that she's eating healthy.
00:59:42And then she finally attended the prenatal concert we arranged, and afterward she spoke with one of the pianists about the compositions.
00:59:50Is it man or woman?
00:59:52Sir, per your instructions, they were all talented women.
00:59:55No exceptions.
00:59:57And she actually mentioned you today.
00:59:59While making hot chocolate, she said to the chef,
01:00:02It's never quite as good as Luca's.
01:00:05She always knows what to say.
01:00:08I'll make her a batch right now, and we can have it delivered.
01:00:11Great. I'll arrange a private courier right away.
01:00:19Luca is almost finished with his business.
01:00:22Hopefully, he will make it home in time for the birth.
01:00:27Mrs. Finchini, terrible news.
01:00:29Luca's jet has been destroyed amid a flight.
01:00:30He... he's missing.
01:00:32What?
01:00:34I want every detail immediately.
01:00:35Yes, ma'am.
01:00:38Ava, breathe.
01:00:39Breathe.
01:00:40Don't panic.
01:00:41Don't panic.
01:00:42Luca has always been lucky.
01:00:44He's going to be fine.
01:00:45He will.
01:00:50Hello?
01:00:51I have Luca Mancini.
01:00:53Twenty million dollars cash for his safe return.
01:00:56No police.
01:00:57No family.
01:00:58No security team.
01:01:00You come alone, or he dies.
01:01:03You have 24 hours.
01:01:04Oh, Ava, are you okay?
01:01:11Who was that?
01:01:12It's nothing, nothing.
01:01:13I'm just dizzy.
01:01:16The baby.
01:01:17So I'm going to go upstairs and lie down.
01:01:19Okay.

01:01:40You okay?
01:01:41You okay?
01:01:41Derek?
01:01:43Where's Luca?
01:01:45Where's Luca?
01:01:46Where's Luca?
01:01:47Don't worry about Luca.
01:01:49Worry about yourself.
01:01:51You okay?
01:02:02Derek, where's Luca?
01:02:02Where's Luca?
01:02:03Where's Luca?
01:02:04Don't worry about Luca.
01:02:06Worry about yourself.

01:11:47Okay.
01:11:48Okay.
01:11:48I thought this hospital was the best that money can buy.
01:11:56I guess I was misinformed.
01:11:59Look, they're doing the best they can.
01:12:02Let's not terrorize the staff.
01:12:06Look, I just don't want to see you in any more pain.
01:12:11You would tear me apart.
01:12:18Luca, remember to control yourself, son.
01:12:25Let her recover first.
01:12:37And have you decided what to name this little prince?
01:12:42Marco.
01:12:45Marco.
01:12:45I want to name him Marco.
01:12:48Look, little one.
01:13:11It's your daddy.
01:13:13Your real daddy.
01:13:16It's remarkable how much he looks like.
01:13:23Marco.
01:13:25I thought you had all the answers.
01:13:29And that you'd handle everything.
01:13:32And I promise to protect mom.
01:13:35The business.
01:13:37And your family.
01:13:41Our family.
01:13:42You know, Marco used to say that if you wanted to think about somebody, you would watch the dandelion.
01:13:53And if the seeds blew out easily, then they were thinking of you, too.
01:13:55I hear you on the radio.
01:14:00On the radio.
01:14:04You know.
01:14:23Miss.
01:14:24Mrs. Mancini's wedding gifts.
01:14:26The finest villas.
01:14:28The Mancini family jewelry.
01:14:29And finally, 30% ownership of Mancini group holdings, effective immediately.
01:14:42This ring has been in the Mancini family for seven generations.
01:14:49Passed from mother to daughter-in-law.
01:14:55Thank you, ma'am.
01:14:59A perfect fit.
01:15:15Now, I need the two of you to focus on your top priority.
01:15:22Um, top priority?
01:15:24Giving me a granddaughter to play with little Marco Jr.
01:15:29But Marco, we're at a church.
01:15:32And there are witnesses.
